16 hrs confidence:
work obligation Explanation: Employees are essentially working less (fewer hours), resulting in a 11-13-day work obligation Some might argue that the more neutral 'bewirken' (rather than 'erwirken') should have been used, if the point is that diminished employee productivity has to be made up by adding to the number of days to get the same amount of work done. As for use of 'backlog', that's less forward-looking than 'Bringschuld' and would cause us to rephrase the whole sentence: most likely the 13-day work obligation is not a 13-day backlog but the total number of days that have to be put in to cover the same workload at (presumably) shorter workdays. |

| Reference: Some ideas for further research Reference information: Try a search for Bring(e)schicht(en)/Einbringschicht(en), Zusatzschichten, Ausgleichsschichten, Dispo(sitions)schichten, etc. Kontinuierliche Schichtsysteme - Kerstin Hänecke/Hiltraud Grzech-Sukalo Bei kontinuierlicher Schichtarbeit gibt es eine Besonderheit, die in Betriebsvereinbarungen häufig aufgenommen und geregelt wird: Die vereinbarte wöchentliche Arbeitszeit und die sich durch das Schichtsystem ergebende durchschnittliche wöchentliche Arbeitszeit stimmen oftmals nicht überein. Das Ausmaß der Differenz hängt vor allem von der Anzahl der Schichtgruppen und der Anzahl der Schichtarten ab. Um diesen Unterschied auszugleichen, sind Ausgleichsschichten in Form von Freischichten oder Zusatzschichten (auch Bringeschichten genannt) notwendig. https://www.boeckler.de/pdf/mbf_bvd_kontinuierliche_schichts... Zusatzschichten zur Erreichung der tariflichen Wochenarbeitszeit Nachteile Psychologisch negative Wirkung der „Bringschuld“ https://netkey40.igmetall.de/homepages/virtueller-gewerkscha... The following comes from a translation from German, but has some good ideas in spite of some suspect terminology, e.g. continual instead of continuous These are two organisations which operate on a continual basis (meaning with shift working round the clock seven days a week) … In such systems the weekly working time regularly worked is shorter than the contractual weekly working time. The employees therefore owe the company working time the volume of which depends on the contractual working time. This working time debt must be made up for by shifts to be worked in addition. These "make-up shifts" can be used to increase capacity at times when there is a strong flow of orders (during which, for example, unused plant is temporarily in use), or they can be used to stand in for absent employees. … In the Danish textile company NECKELMANN, which operates continually, … These employees start so to speak with a working time debt of ten make-up shifts. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Steffen_Lehndorff/publi... Finally, a UK job advert, giving one example of how the concept might be described in English Multi Skilled Operator Mondelez International - Sutton Coldfield The warehouse works 24/7 on a continental shift system of 3 days on 4 days off, with an alternate short turnaround and 7 days off every 6 weeks. • Working both Day and Night shifts of 12 hours and 10 minutes… • There are 13 owed shifts to work each year on top of the normal rotation, 12 of which are fixed and 1 of which is planned separately averaging 40 hours per week annually. https://www.indeed.co.uk/cmp/Mondelez-International/jobs/Mul... |
